Commission votes to hold disciplinary item in closed session; approves non-disclosure motion
Summary
The San Francisco Police Commission voted to hold a disciplinary agenda item in closed session and later approved a motion for non-disclosure before adjourning.
During its Oct. 12 meeting the commission voted to move a disciplinary docket item into closed session and, after returning to open session, approved a motion for non-disclosure.
On Item 4, the commission took a motion and second on whether to hold Item 5 (discipline matters) in closed session; the motion passed and the commission proceeded into closed session. After returning to open session the commission recorded a motion for non-disclosure (moved and seconded on the record and approved by voice vote). The meeting then approved a motion to adjourn.
Why this matters: The decisions to deliberate discipline and to record a non-disclosure motion indicate the commission handled sensitive personnel and litigation matters behind closed doors pursuant to applicable law; those closed proceedings limit public disclosure of the detailed matters discussed.
What happens next: Any actions that were authorized in closed session will be handled according to the commission’s procedures and applicable confidentiality rules.
